**[00:12] Kirito**
Why?
**[00:13] Kirito**
Why did you lose to the Synthesis Ritual?
**[00:17] Kirito**
Wasn't the reason
you trained to be a swordsman
**[00:19] Kirito**
and left Rulid Village
to head for the capital city, Centoria,
**[00:23] Kirito**
to bring back your cherished childhood friend, Alice?
***SIGN*** The 32nd Knight
**[02:28] Kirito**
Eugeo.
**[02:29] Kirito**
You and I have never fought seriously before,
have we?
**[02:34] Kirito**
I've thought about it a lot.
**[02:37] Kirito**
Which one of us would win
if we seriously crossed swords?
**[02:41] Kirito**
To be honest,
I always thought you'd surpass me one day.
**[02:48] Kirito**
*I've never shown you this skill before!*
**[03:05] Eugeo**
Burst Element.
**[03:18] Alice**
Is that person really your partner, Eugeo?
**[03:22] Kirito**
What do you mean?
**[03:24] Kirito**
You're the one who said
that Eugeo had already been synthesized!
**[03:28] Alice**
That's true, but...
**[03:30] Alice**
I'm not sure how to say this.
**[03:32] Alice**
For someone who just
became an Integrity Knight,
**[03:35] Alice**
he seems too accustomed to battle.
**[03:38] Alice**
For instance,
the Incarnate Arms skill he used earlier,
**[03:40] Alice**
as well as that Aerial Element skill just now,
**[03:43] Alice**
makes it hard to believe he's a novice.
**[03:47] Alice**
Should I fight him next?
**[03:51] Kirito**
I'll do it.
**[04:01] Kirito**
*I'm counting on you, partner.*
**[04:03] Kirito**
*I promise to give you a name
when this fight is over.*
**[04:06] Kirito**
*So lend me your strength!*
**[04:09] Kirito**
Let's go, Eugeo!
**[04:51] Kirito**
Does the skill you just used have a name?
**[04:54] Eugeo**
Baltio style. Storm Wave.
**[04:57] Kirito**
Baltio style? Golgorosso-senpai's sword style.
**[05:01] Kirito**
Eugeo, do you...
**[05:03] Kirito**
do you remember who taught you that sword skill?
**[05:06] Eugeo**
I don't know or care.
**[05:09] Eugeo**
She's the only one I need to know.
**[05:11] Eugeo**
It's for her sake that I take up my sword,
and I live in order to eliminate her enemies.
**[05:19] Kirito**
*There's no doubt.*
**[05:20] Kirito**
*Just like Eldrie and Alice, now Eugeo has...*
***SIGN*** The Piety Module is inserted in a way that blocks links to memories.
***SIGN*** This seals away the past of the person becoming an Integrity Knight,
***SIGN*** while simultaneously forcing absolute fealty to the Axiom Church and the pontifex.
**[05:38] Kirito**
*What kind of memories originally existed
where the module's embedded?*
**[05:43] Kirito**
*If I can figure that out...*
**[05:45] Kirito**
*No, words won't be enough
to break Administrator's art!*
**[05:51] Kirito**
*What I infuse my sword with
will reach his soul.*
**[05:54] Kirito**
*That's what I'm going to believe!*
**[05:57] Kirito**
Eugeo!
**[06:04] Kirito**
Remember!
There are people who are precious to you!
**[06:08] Kirito**
Selka, who's waiting back in Rulid Village
for our return!
**[06:12] Kirito**
Golgorosso-senpai and Liena-senpai,
who instructed us at Swordcraft Academy!
**[06:16] Kirito**
Tiese and Ronie, who worried about us
right up till the moment we said goodbye!
**[06:20] Kirito**
And above all...
**[06:21] Kirito**
wasn't your wish
to go back to Rulid with Alice?
**[06:32] Kirito**
You have to remember, Eugeo!
**[07:10] Eugeo**
Eugeo.
**[07:26] Eugeo**
Alice.
**[07:28] Kirito**
Did you remember, Eugeo?
**[07:34] Kirito**
Eu... geo...
**[07:40] Alice**
Kirito!
**[07:43] Eugeo**
Enhance Armament.
**[07:57] Kirito**
Eugeo.
**[07:59] Kirito**
Why?
**[08:32] Chudelkin**
Have you dealt with those rebels,
Number Thirty-two?
**[08:38] Eugeo**
I've sealed the two rebels in ice,
Your Eminence, Prime Senator.
**[08:44] Chudelkin**
That's fine, but...
**[08:46] Chudelkin**
you did finish them off properly, didn't you?
**[08:50] Eugeo**
No, I did not finish them off, Prime Senator.
**[08:54] Eugeo**
Since the pontifex's order was to stop the rebels.
**[08:58] Chudelkin**
That won't do! That just won't do!
**[09:01] Chudelkin**
When you speak to me, remember to call me,
"Your Eminence, Prime Senator."
**[09:04] Chudelkin**
"Your Eminence," got that? "Your Eminence"!
**[09:06] Chudelkin**
The next time you forget the "Your Eminence,"
you'll be turned into a horse as punishment!
**[09:11] Chudelkin**
You'll carry me on your back,
and while you're on all fours, I'll go "hi-yo"!
**[09:19] Chudelkin**
Now then, I think I'll go
carry out Her Eminence's orders.
**[09:36] Eugeo**
Lady Pontifex.
**[09:38] Administrator**
Welcome back, Eugeo.
**[09:41] Administrator**
You've taken care of your errand.
**[09:44] Eugeo**
Yes.
**[09:45] Administrator**
Well done! In that case,
I should give you a reward.
**[09:49] Administrator**
Please climb onto the bed.
**[09:58] Administrator**
All right, Eugeo, as promised,
let me give you what you desire.
**[10:05] Administrator**
Love that's meant only for you.
**[10:09] Eugeo**
Yes.
**[10:11] Administrator**
But first, let me heal that wound for you.
**[10:19] Administrator**
Also,
**[10:20] Administrator**
let me have another good look at your face.
**[10:24] Administrator**
Since there was a convenient hole
in your memory,
**[10:27] Administrator**
I inserted the module there,
**[10:30] Administrator**
but perhaps I shouldn't have been lazy.
**[10:33] Administrator**
Let's redo your synthesis.
**[10:36] Administrator**
You can have your reward after that,
all right, Eugeo?
**[11:11] Administrator**
Just lie still.
**[11:18] Administrator**
This is an improved module
I had just completed.
**[11:22] Administrator**
Synthesizing you with it allows you
to use the power of "Meaning" immediately.
**[11:31] Administrator**
Will you show me your memories again?
**[11:34] Administrator**
This time, I'll insert it into the location
of what you hold most dear.
**[11:39] Administrator**
I've made it so you can move your mouth.
**[11:42] Administrator**
Now, chant the command I taught you earlier.
**[11:46] Administrator**
Did you forget it?
What am I going to do with you?
**[11:50] Administrator**
It's "Remove Core Protection."
**[11:54] Eugeo**
M...
**[11:58] Eugeo**
M...
**[12:02] Eugeo**
Mo...
**[12:05] Eugeo**
Mo... ve!
**[12:08] Administrator**
You...
**[12:44] Administrator**
For you to have regained your senses...
**[12:46] Administrator**
You certainly fooled me.
**[12:51] Administrator**
Not to mention, that prop is the handiwork
of that little brat from the Library, no?
**[12:56] Administrator**
But that's too bad.
**[12:58] Administrator**
No metal object of any kind
can damage my skin now.
**[13:04] Administrator**
You poor child.
**[13:05] Administrator**
Just when I'd promised you
**[13:08] Administrator**
that if you gave all of yourself to me,
I'd love you back the same amount.
**[13:12] Administrator**
That eternal love you've been seeking all your life,
that eternal control...
**[13:17] Administrator**
you were so close to obtaining it!
**[13:22] Eugeo**
Eternal... love?
**[13:25] Eugeo**
Eternal... control.
**[13:28] Administrator**
That's right, Eugeo.
**[13:30] Administrator**
If you entrust everything to me,
**[13:32] Administrator**
the thirst that's been making you suffer
will be quenched instantly.
**[13:36] Administrator**
All the fears and worries you've been carrying
will be erased.
**[13:41] Administrator**
This is your last chance, Eugeo.
**[13:44] Administrator**
Use the sword at your waist
to shatter that toy.
**[13:47] Administrator**
Do that, and I shall forgive your heinous crime
with my tremendous amount of love.
**[13:54] Eugeo**
To love is to control, and to be controlled.
**[14:01] Eugeo**
You're the pitiful one,
for having no other way to say it!
**[14:06] Eugeo**
I'm sure you were once the same way.
**[14:08] Eugeo**
Starved for love and sought it out,
**[14:11] Eugeo**
but you were never given any.
**[14:13] Eugeo**
Love isn't about control.
**[14:16] Eugeo**
Nor is it something you can gain as a reward
or in a transaction.
**[14:19] Eugeo**
The same way you water flowers,
**[14:21] Eugeo**
you give it continuously.
**[14:23] Eugeo**
I'm sure that that's what love is!
**[14:28] Administrator**
How disappointing.
**[14:29] Administrator**
I was going to forgive a sinful young boy
for rebelling against the Axiom Church
**[14:33] Administrator**
and try to save his soul,
**[14:36] Administrator**
but this is how you speak to me?
**[14:43] Administrator**
Maybe it would be a waste
to kill you and turned you into a jewel.
**[14:47] Administrator**
It will take some time, but perhaps
I'll use force synthesis on you, just like her.
**[14:53] Eugeo**
Like her?
**[14:53] Administrator**
That's right.
**[14:55] Administrator**
Thirty, whom you're so infatuated with.
**[14:57] Administrator**
Because she also refused to chant the command,
**[15:00] Administrator**
the automated senators worked on her for days
to forcefully disable her protection.
**[15:05] Eugeo**
Alice?
**[15:06] Administrator**
Well, I was asleep,
so I wasn't actually watching,
**[15:10] Administrator**
but it must have been so agonizing for her.
**[15:14] Administrator**
Well? How do you feel about
getting to at least share that experience?
**[15:29] Eugeo**
Shatter.
**[16:04] Administrator**
That sword...
**[16:07] Administrator**
Now I see.
**[16:14] Chudelkin**
Please save me!
**[16:17] Chudelkin**
Please save me, Your Eminence, Pontifex!
**[16:23] Chudelkin**
You!
**[16:23] Chudelkin**
H-He's a traitor, Your Eminence!
**[16:26] Chudelkin**
He claimed that he sealed away Thirty
and the other one, but he went easy—
**[16:32] Chudelkin**
Let go!
**[16:45] Eugeo**
Kirito.
**[16:55] Kirito**
Yo, Eugeo!
**[17:05] Eugeo**
Sorry.
**[17:07] Eugeo**
I gave in to Administrator's temptation,
and ended up hurting you both.
**[17:12] Eugeo**
I thought I should at least atone for it
by my own hand.
**[17:15] Kirito**
You're being so cold, Eugeo.
**[17:17] Kirito**
I knew that's what you were thinking right away.
**[17:22] Eugeo**
You're the same as always.
**[17:27] Eugeo**
Alice.
**[17:42] Kirito**
Is that the pontifex, Administrator?
**[17:46] Alice**
That's right.
**[17:48] Alice**
She hasn't changed at all after six years.
**[17:51] Administrator**
It was almost time
to reset Bercouli and Fanatio,
**[17:55] Administrator**
but I've only used you for six years, right?
**[17:59] Administrator**
Your logic circuits don't seem to be malfunctioning.
**[18:03] Administrator**
Could it be the influence of that irregular unit?
**[18:06] Administrator**
How amusing.
**[18:09] Administrator**
Hey, Alice, there must be something
you want to say to me.
**[18:14] Administrator**
I won't get mad. So say it now.
**[18:30] Alice**
Lady Pontifex,
**[18:32] Alice**
our glorious order of Integrity Knights
has been destroyed as of today.
**[18:38] Alice**
All because of the swords
of the two rebels beside me,
**[18:42] Alice**
as well as the endless obsession and deception
you built along with this tower.
**[18:48] Alice**
My ultimate mission is to safeguard a tranquil lifestyle
and peaceful sleep for those without swords.
**[18:54] Alice**
Therefore, Lady Pontifex, your actions
**[18:57] Alice**
are unquestionably detrimental to the well-being
of those who reside in the Human Empire.
**[19:03] Chudelkin**
Shut... Shut your mouth!
**[19:06] Chudelkin**
Y-You lowly, defective puppet knight!
**[19:10] Chudelkin**
You wretched knights are merely puppets
that can only do as I order you to.
**[19:16] Administrator**
It doesn't seem to be a logic circuit error, after all.
**[19:19] Administrator**
And her Piety Module is still functioning.
**[19:22] Administrator**
Meaning that she disabled the Code 871
imposed by that person of her own volition?
**[19:29] Administrator**
Rather than by a sudden emotional burst?
**[19:32] Kirito**
*Code 871?
Is she talking about the Seal of the Right Eye?*
**[19:36] Administrator**
Well, I won't know anything more
unless I run an analysis.
**[19:41] Administrator**
Now then. Chudelkin?
**[19:43] Administrator**
Since I'm so generous, I'm giving you the chance
to restore your ruined reputation.
**[19:49] Administrator**
Let's see you render those three powerless
with your arts.
**[19:55] Chudelkin**
Y-Y-Your Eminence, Pontifex!
**[19:58] Administrator**
What, Chudelkin?
**[20:02] Chudelkin**
I, Prime Senator Chudelkin,
**[20:04] Chudelkin**
for the first time in my many years of service,
beg to present to you a most insolent request!
**[20:10] Chudelkin**
I shall gladly risk my life annihilating these rebels.
Therefore!
**[20:14] Chudelkin**
Once I've carried out my mission,
if Your Eminence... Y-Your Eminence...
**[20:18] Chudelkin**
If you would allow me touch your exalted body
with my own hands and kiss you,
**[20:22] Chudelkin**
A-A-A-And then spend the night of my dreams with you...
**[20:26] Chudelkin**
Please... please... please grant me that wish!
**[20:35] Administrator**
Very well, Chudelkin.
**[20:38] Administrator**
I swear on the goddess of creation, Stacia.
**[20:40] Administrator**
When you've fulfilled your mission,
**[20:42] Administrator**
every inch of my body
will be yours for the taking, for one night.
**[20:51] Chudelkin**
I am overcome with supreme joy at this moment.
**[20:56] Chudelkin**
And now... and now, I...
**[21:01] Chudelkin**
My fighting spirit's been amplified!
I'm overflowing with energy!
**[21:03] Chudelkin**
To be more specific...
**[21:05] Chudelkin**
I am invincible!
**[21:09] Chudelkin**
System... Call!
**[21:13] Chudelkin**
Generate...Thermal... Element!
**[21:28] Chudelkin**
Let me show you.
**[21:30] Chudelkin**
My greatest, ultimate sacred art...
**[21:33] Chudelkin**
Come forth, genie!
**[21:35] Chudelkin**
Burn these rebels to ash!
**[23:36] Kirito**
Next time: Titan of the Sword.
